I just put some touch up paint on my 92 lude and it looks horrible, but I guess its better than having a deep scratch on my bumper...it especially sucks because the scratch was from a hit and run right after I put on my RH C2 rims...sigh....but yeah you can get the paint from Honda dealerships, u can look for the color on ur driver side sticker after you open the door if you don't wanna bring ur car in...

My dad and I have fived a lot of scratchs in my lude(and looks perfect). You can get the paint at any local car part place(shucks). They have books there that tell you your paint code, and they should have the paint in stock.

Don't use the brush kind. Get the spray paint ones. It well look alot better, the brush ones you can't get it smooth to flow with your paint. Just sand, primer then use alot of short quick sprays and it should turn out pretty well. I well give pics some time later.

Yeah you can get a small bottle from the dealership for about 5 bucks or so. Definetely don't use the applicator in the bottle though. I recommend using a very small painters brush or, just as good, using a toothpick to apply the paint. Works very well on interstate rock chips. A lot of scratches you can get out using rubbing compound, then paint cleaner, polish and finally wax. If they are very deep into the metal then theres not a whole lot you can do to make it look good, except take to a professional.

if your paint is custom paint could you ask your bodyshop to have touch up paint...

I got mine from Autozone, or maybe it was Discount, but I only paid about 3 bucks for it. Exact match color too. The bottle plainly says Honda color xxxx and the color code.
